  1. I love Rainbow Fish! I feel as if this book will never get old. It is colorful, fun, and very eye appealing to the children. The story with the book is also appropriate and there are so many fun activities you can do with the youth.

  2. There are a lot of activities you can do with this book, including lessons on diversity and acceptance, but also more concrete topics such as beginning math and number sense. The shiny scale is great too!

  3. I love Rainbow fish. This was one of my favorite books as a kid. I always loved the sparkly fins Rainbow fish had, but I learned a lot about sharing from this book when I was little.
